Hi,
Happy Birthday – it’s my mum’s birthday too
If i won one of the craft things i would probably give it to her (I love craft but my mum has more time than me and keeping it would just enable me to hoard more ufo’s LOL!)
I found your blog through the organisedhousewife.com.au
As for having “gifted” children – good luck, it’s been a long hard road in our lives sometimes – not at all the ‘miracle’ people(teachers, other parents) often think it is! Still, wouldn’t go back now though, I love each one of my ‘square-pegs’-just recently my youngest came home with her 1st report “enthusiastic contribution to class discussions… is becoming increasingly challenging to refocus with other quiet activities during mat-time ..needs to give other children time to think..” what else does a 4yo do when the teacher asks repeatedly but call out the answer !?

Just thought I’d let you know I’m loving your blog. I am a prep teacher in QLD, my 5 year old son has Asperger’s (they are so funny aren’t they!?), and we are currently trying to get our 4 year old assessed for ASD. All four of my brothers were on the spectrum as well so I know where your coming from! Most days in our house are tough- two very inflexible kids at opposite ends of the personality stick- but they are so completely worth it. J

As the proud but sometimes pressured and despairing mother of a nearly 15 year old severely autistic daughter with huge art and computer skills and NO social skills, huge sensory issues and a very large physical bulk…… who was so worn out by the lonely caregiving years that a few months ago when my husband of nineteen years called me a slut and shouted that I was stupid and told me to get out – he had become increasing verbally abusive of me as the years went by – I finally did leave…… returned back across the Tasman to Australia where I find myself rather alone and lonely, unable yet to find employment, and having to remake my life – not easy at age 58 after having been out of the paid workforce for nearly twenty years…. I share the feelings of pride and triumph and anguish that go with the territory of parenting autistic spectrum…… and wish you well. I hope to find some niche where my experience can be put to some good use…… For year, living in a small rural community, my sanity was maintained by a group of online friends that started as a small support group involving parents around the world of kids on the spectrum…… only 30 or so members, but it gave me a space where I felt supported and understood……
